I think the NCLB is very unfair. I teach in a low-econmic school and we have so much pressure to teach to the test. But, when the state department comes in they say not to use worksheets, but do hands-on. The test is not hands-on, so how can I meet the needs of my students. I am in a no win situtation. The whole school is punished and the tested teachers are stressed. It is so sad to watch and have to give a test to an EC student, then to make them retake the test, and then go to school in the summer everyyear that they don't pass the test.

This policy really hurts the district that my daughter attends. They d...See More
